摘　　要：目的　观察知母皂苷元 (ZMS)及其异构体 (ZMR)对老年大鼠学习记忆和脑内M1受体密度的作用。方法　选择 2 4mon龄SD老年大鼠 ,将动物分为老年对照组、ZMS组和ZMR组 ,并以 3～ 4mon龄青年大鼠作为正常对照 ,用迷宫法测定学习记忆能力 ,采用放射配基结合分析法测定脑内M1受体密度。结果　用药组大鼠连续口服ZMS和ZMR 4 0d后 ,与老年对照组比较 ,其学习记忆能力明显增强 ,脑内M1受体密度升高。AIM To observe the effects of ZMS and ZMR(isomer of ZMS),two active components of Zhimu on learning and memory ability and muscarinic subtype M 1 receptor density in aged rats. METHODS 24 month-old SD rats were randomly divided into aged control group, ZMS and ZMR treatment group. Young rats were used as normal control group. The learning and memory ability was detected by Y-maze method. The muscarinic subtype M 1 receptor density in the brain was detected by 3H-QNB binding tests. RESULTS It was found that daily oral administration of ZMS and ZMR for 40 d significantly enhanced the learning and memory ability and the muscarinic subtype M 1 receptor density in the brain of the aged rats. CONCLUSION These results suggested that ZMS and ZMR probably have potential preventive and curative action for the progressive deterioration of the cholinergic system in Alzheimers disease (AD).
